It's the classic arcade but for adults, and college students.

Walked in sober, left emotionally healed. The vibes? Immaculate. The atmosphere? Impeccable. Considering quitting my job and spending my entire life on this place. Throwing all my tips to the blonde bartender that did splendid job, going above and beyond to lit the place up. I no longer have a home, this place is my home now

Very cool spot. Arcade games take cash and card with a decent selection of games to play. The drinks were a bit expensive for the area but worth it for the location. When I was there on the weekend, they had a dj, and the vibe was great.

They also have consoles behind the bar you can play on the screens behind the bar but i think that's only for earlier in the night to keep things moving at the bar.

Fun game themed cocktails.

Bartenders were all very nice, and the service was good. Never had to wait long for a drink even with a packed house

Fun gaming bar. Located in Deep Ellum. It wasn't incredibly busy. The game selection isn't huge, but it's worth going in and killing 30 minutes or so. The games take cards, coins, or bills.

This is a fun spot if you want to hang out and drink with friends and play some games! They had "water pong" set up and there's a bunch of arcade games. We went on a Friday night and they had a live DJ playing who was decent, and there's a dancefloor for those that want to kick it up a notch. They had some fruity drinks in small fish bowls which were delicious. It gets very loud. We had a really good night!
